The kids

A happy and healthy Sophie!  So, I once told the kids that mud was good for the skin.  Before I knew it, yesterday, as I was watering the garden, there was Girumy, painting a thrilled Sophie with mud.  After I cringed, I thought, "Perfect!  This is exactly what kids should be doing: playing outside in the mud."

The kids have been wanting to touch the hens lately, after they have been endearingly pecking the little hands that feed them weeds all day long.

Girumy has taken to making breakfast and lunch.  Here he is, liberally applying the green sauce.
